Color, taste: red, robust Grape variety: syrah Country, region: France, Rhône Good with: Beef, Pork Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 8.5 Crozes-Hermitage is one of the great names from the northern Rhône. Here, red wine is made from syrah, sometimes with a very small amount of white grapes added to highlight the fruity aromas. The location of the vineyards at the foot of the Hermitage hill and the specific composition of the soil give Crozes-Hermitage its unique mineral aromas and its slender, muscular structure. For Guigal, one of the most esteemed houses from the region, it is important that the wine truly reflects its origin. A delightful terroir wine, then, with plenty of flavor of berry, blackberry, and spices, a firm structure, and a soft finish. One to enjoy quietly. First a few sips on their own, then with roasted meat, and afterwards another glass with cheese.
